Just like every year around this time, we had our family pictures taken. As usual, I'm proud of the good shots we managed to get.

We did take one with a Christmas theme to it in case I wanted to use it on our Christmas cards this year, but I'm not sure if I'll use it or one of the others. I have my faves. ;)

My favorite!

It's crazy how much my boys have grown from year to year! I love looking back at our family pics beginning in 2011. I put a little collage of my faves from each year together so I could see them all together.

I also like being able to click back and look through all of our family pics from years past.

This year was super fun because both boys were able to run from house to house without any assistance. Of course they were accompanied by Larson as I drove along side of them, but they were able to go up to each treat giver and say "Trick or Treat" all by themselves this time. I just loved watching them, especially Gentry. It was the first year he was able to do this like a big boy.

I didn't dress up this year. Jubal asked me where my long hair (wig) was. I told him maybe next year. Larson dressed up, though. Jubal was a police officer, so Larson was his prisoner. Gentry was my little lion. It just gets better & better every year. This was the last year I'll be able to hand down any of Jubal's costumes to Gentry. Next year I'm sure he will want to pick his own.

My mama rode with us this year, too. It was good to have her with us, and I know she enjoyed watching the boys have so much fun. She said she only wished my daddy could see how much Jubal looked like him in his uniform. I told her he could see both my boys. I know in my heart he did.

I hope everyone had as much fun as we did. Halloween is a holiday I look forward to every year. I think my boys love it just as much as I do. :)

A little about me...

I'm a 44 year old mama to two precious (savages ha!) boys named Jubal Talon & Gentry Slade. I'm married to my frog-turned-prince charming, Larson, and we live in a small town in southeast Georgia.

This blog is a journal that I like to keep specifically for my boys. I want to keep up with as much of our life together in these fleeting moments as possible so that maybe one day Jubal & Gentry will have something to look back on.
